Great video! I feel like anything other than avios or Amex partners are so hard to book with points with good value! Just not enough options in the UK, so would love to know how you got your Turkish Miles! Thanks

Thanks! And I agree - it can be hard to get points outside of Avios and Amex partners. While my TK miles came from flying with Star Alliance, there is another way which I would consider using if the circumstances are right. You can convert Amex MR points to TK miles at the rate of 1 MR = 0.5 TK mile. Amex has only a handful of direct airline transfer partners but if you first transfer your Amex points to Marriott Bonvoy, you then have a choice of 30+ airlines that Bonvoy points can be converted to (including TK). The downside is the low rate of transfer at only 0.5 mile per MR point. And obviously you can also earn Marriott Bonvoy points directly (from hotel stays or via Marriott Amex card I reviewed here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIK8ooiKfLCFpNE).

I literally just bought a Club World LHR-MXP flight for Easter! 18.5k avios + 50£ Round Trip.
